Abascantus
French physician · Doctors
Abascantus was a physician of Lugdunum, who probably lived in the 2nd century AD. He is mentioned several times by Galen, who has also preserved an antidote invented by him against the bite of serpents.
Abascantus is read about 4 times a day, in 7 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 8 June 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?About this person
The name appears in numerous Latin inscriptions in Gruter's collection, five of which refer to a freedman of Augustus, who is supposed by some scholars to be the same person that is mentioned by Galen. This identification is uncertain, as also whether Parakletios Abaskanthos in Galen refers to the subject of this article.
